Verno:I don't know if I HATE Cryptic, but I dislike them strongly for taking potentially great IP's and turning them into hot garbage. I'm looking for a new MMO, and they deliver poop sandwiches. They have the money, the people to make a decent MMO.. but nope. Cookie cutter, shallow, bland and boring.It bugs me because I know they could make a way better game

Oh yes it would.. good idea though!--------Oh, and more importantly, I don't know one person who appears to be excited about this title. There's nothing about it that appears interesting -shrug-

Alamar: We don't like Cryptic.. they produce shallow, boring games and ruin IP's. Here are some related comments I made on another site:

Okay sure, STO and CO made initial money.. however, I'd love to see a chart showing Cryptics game launches and the incline/decline of sales over the years and if possible, customer confidence shown as well.I think that PC gamers are much more involved and informed then console gamers and word spreads quick in our realm. Cyptic's terrible reputation arrives before you want them to, and smells of incompetence and bottom shelf liquor.I wonder how many Neverwinter fans might've experience the suck that was CO/STO and are reading forums like this one thinking "as i suspected, I got duped into a title earlier, and here are some informed gamers saying that this dev house cranks out garbage content..no thanks, I'll pass".

Mr. Blue:"Continue here to read the full story. "..and that link goes to the embedded video and nothing further, is that supposed to be that way? I was thinking there'd be more to read? ------------Anyhow, so far, I am very interested in this title. It seems to have the initial elements that add depth to a game, and I need that in my MMO's. It doesn't hurt that this game is beautiful. I wonder if the chaips weight/cargo plays into how it flies..anyone know?

Whatever, BFBC2 lost my interest right after it came out when I realized you were forced to be either a sniper, or an assault C4 class that could singlehandedly take out every objective.

On a similar note, Medal of Honor looks like a huge joke as well. It looks the EXACT same as BFBC2....but on smaller maps. Isn't bigger maps one of their selling points? That game went from a release-buy to bargain-bin-buy in about a week.

I was hardcore into BC2.. I was way into it, and then I, like so many others said "well, i need more", and i got nothing, nobody did. That game got stale very quick. Also, i see NOTHING in MoH that makes me want to play it, if you told me it was a BC2 mod, I'd believe you. it looks/feels/looks like it plays exactly like BC2 and a bit of MW2. What's my incentive to buying a 3rd game so closely related to 2 titles i probably already own?

This is head shakingly dumb. I am waiting for some developer to pick up the Tribes/XMP franchise and create a kickass, modabble game and pull the whole FPS community away. (a boy can dream)

Maybe Brink will be damn good, but outside of Brink, what else is on the immediate radar?

-reads through the article-No new maps eh? This is one of the reasons why TF2 moves along fine (maps galore, real custom servers, tons of updates) and a game like BC2 just sits there, idle in the water. Why the fruit (harsh language!) haven't the devs allowed us to mod this game how we see fit? They aren't charging for these terrible packs, so what's the reason they aren't allowing us to mod this game?

I could understand if they were coming out quarterly with 12 new maps/new game modes/new vehicles/etc.. and then charging 10 bucks a pop.. but they aren't doing that.. so what the hell is the deal here?

kxmode: I said since day 1 on hearing the news of a new ip that Blizzard would go the MMOFPS route. Now the setting I am unsure of, but I can totally see it. There isn't one out there right now, it's a barren market, and they could easily grab it and hold it indefinitely.

GFWL is one of the many reasons that the FPS Section 8 failed (the game was also a steaming pile of suck). The lack of server control/modding/proper administrative control/update issues is something I witnessed first hand and thought "why in the hell would a dev use this terrible tech"..Good to see that the fellas at THQ learned a lesson.

I'd like to see someone tackle another issue on the fate of PC gaming- which is.. all the affected companies in the PC-gaming world. I have yet to read one article (hey internet journalists..pay attention) on the trickle down effect of what happens when there is a significantly smaller PC gaming footprint.
